44 APPENDIX A SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE (WEB VERSION ONLY) This appendix is provided only in the version of the document published on the NCHRP website.

45 A-2 Dear Maintenance Engineer: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is preparing a synthesis on Maintenance Quality Assurance (MQA) Field Inspection Practices. This is being done for the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), under the sponsorship of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify and summarize the MQA field inspection practices used by state highway agencies and the way these processes are administered within maintenance organizations. The results of the survey will be incorporated into a synthesis of highway agency practice that will highlight agency’s practices and lessons learned, with the intent of aiding the implementation process for those agencies that have yet to implement an MQA program or are in the process of implementing a new or revised maintenance inspection regimen. This survey is being sent to the voting member of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Maintenance for each state department of transportation. Your cooperation in completing the questionnaire will ensure the success of this effort. If you are not the appropriate person at your agency to complete this questionnaire, please forward it to the correct person. Please complete and submit this survey by February 26, 2014. We estimate that it should take no more than 25 minutes to complete. It is designed so you can exit and return to the survey if you need to allocate your time over several days. If you have any questions or problems related to this questionnaire, please contact our principal investigator Ms. Katie Zimmerman at (217) 398-3977 or kzimmerman@appliedpavement.com.

Thank you very much for your time and expertise in completing this important questionnaire. Definitions The following definitions are used in conjunction with this questionnaire: • Agency district/region—the different geographic areas of responsibility within a given agency. • Agency division/section—the various areas within a given agency and includes such divisions/sections as materials, construction, roadway design, planning, maintenance, and so on. • Asset—a physical item of roadway infrastructure that has value. Assets are sometimes referred to as roadway “furniture” or “features.” An asset may be a single item, such as a sign, or a linear item, such as a road or guardrail section. An asset may also be a spatial item, such as a rest area or mowable acreage. • Asset inventory—a physical count of assets. The count may be by coordinates, milepoints, road section, geographical area, road network, maintenance section, or other convenient method of sorting and reporting the amount of assets in the road system. • Condition assessment—a physical inspection and rating of roadway assets to determine the condition of individual assets, roadway sections, or overall road networks. • Maintenance Quality Assurance (MQA)—a process of physically inspecting and rating the condition of the roadway assets and maintenance services. The quality assessment employs the same measures used to set performance targets. The data from the maintenance quality assessment is used to assess outcomes, actual performance, and maintenance LOS.

The quality assessment employs the same measures used to set performance targets. The data

47 A-4 from the maintenance quality assessment is used to assess outcomes, actual performance, and maintenance LOS. • Performance Measure—a quantifiable measure of performance to determine progress toward specific, defined organization objectives based on statistical evidence. Sample measures include height of grass, number of potholes per lane mile, and percent of signs below standard. • Performance Target—a targeted level of an activity or performance expressed as a tangible measurable goal, against which achievement can be compared. A performance target is usually a numerical rating, such as “pavement drop-off less than x inches,” but it could also be an overall rating, such as a targeted LOS equal to “A” in an A to F rating scale. • Sampling—a small group of sections selected from the entire population (usually statistically) that are used to represent the condition of the entire population. • Level of Service (LOS)—a measure of the condition of individual assets as well as the overall condition of the roadway. LOS measures are generally specified in customer service terms related to safety, preservation, convenience, aesthetics, comfort, and mobility. Some states also measure LOS in terms of environmental impacts or legislative mandates. • Maintenance Management System (MMS)—a modern MMS integrates organization structure, business processes, and technology to provide a systematic approach for planning and executing an efficient customer-oriented and performance-based maintenance program. • Perfor ance Measure—a quantifiable measure of performance to determine progress toward specific, defined organization objectives based on statistical evi ence.

51 Condition Assessment Activities This section of the survey asks about the MQA data being collected on various types of assets. Assets are organized by asset category. Within each category, please identify (a) whether you have a complete inventory for that asset, and (b) whether you assess (rate) the condition of that asset as part of your MQA program. You will be asked for additional information about each asset that is rated as part of your MQA program. These questions will only appear if the asset is included in your MQA program. These questions ask for: 1. the method used to collect the information (Automated, Manual Windshield, Manual Walking, or Other) (Note: Automated may include both LiDAR or digital images from a vehicle traveling at near-traffic speeds), 2. whether representative samples are inspected during the survey process (Yes or No), 3. the cycle used to collect performance data (Annually, Every Other Year, More Than Once a Year, or Other), and 4. the condition assessment attribute used (select “Not Rated” if this asset is not part of your inspections). Please complete the following tables as much as possible with readily-available information. We do not expect you to do extensive research to gather this information.
